Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common cancer among people living with HIV in the United States. People with HIV are up to 17 times more likely to get NHL than people who do not have HIV. The disease may also be different in these two groups. More study is needed for treating people with both HIV and NHL.

Objective: To test a study drug (pomalidomide) in combination with chemotherapy with or without another drug (rituximab) in people with HIV-associated NHL. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years or older diagnosed with HIV-associated B-cell NHL with high-risk features. Design: Individuals will undergo screening. They will have a physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and tests of heart function. They may have imaging scans.
